1. What data I collect?

General Personal data

I process your general personal data. Personal data is any type of information that relates to an identifiable natural person. The natural person is identifiable if conclusions can be drawn about the identity of the person from the available information.

Example: Your name, IP address and home address are personal data.

​

Transferred data

You often provide me with your personal data yourself. Whenever you enter your personal data and transmit it to me, it is deemed to have been provided to me. The transmission of data to me is basically voluntary, but in some cases it is mandatory in order to be able to use my offers.

Example: You enter your data in a contact form.

​

Data collected

When you use my services, I sometimes collect their data without your active participation. This data is usually data about your device and data about user behavior.

Example: I collect data about the operating system of the device you used to access our website.

​

Data transfer

I share your personal data with companies that can decide for themselves how to use the data. Most often, this is done because it is necessary to comply with legal requirements, when an outstanding debt is transferred to a collection agency, or when to detect fraudulent activity.

Example: A legal requirement obliges us to pass on your data to an authority.

I will keep your data secure and take all reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, access, misuse or alteration.

Possible contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with the provisions of data protection law. In some cases, it will be necessary for me to pass on your enquiries to companies affiliated with me within the framework of commissioned processing. In these cases, too, your data will be treated confidentially.

Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.

​​

8. Data subjects' rights

Right to information

You can request information about the data we hold about you at any time. I ask you to send your request for information together with a credible proof of identity to simon.littwin.2005@gmail.com. The information is provided in writing or in another form, if necessary also electronically. If you so request, I can also provide you with the information orally, provided you prove your identity in another form. If you submit the request for information electronically, I will provide the information in a standard electronic format, unless you specify otherwise.

As a rule, the information is free of charge. If copies are requested in addition, an appropriate fee may be charged.

The right to obtain a copy of the data processed shall not prejudice the rights and freedoms of other persons.

In the event of obviously unfounded or excessive requests for information, I reserve the right to refuse to provide the information within the limits of the law or to demand an appropriate fee for it.

The processing of your request is subject to the period of 30 days. Due to the complexity and the high number of requests, I may extend this deadline by two additional months if necessary. You will be informed of the extension of the deadline within 30 days of submitting the request for information. At the same time, you will be informed of the reasons for the extension.

​

Deletion and rectification

You have the option of requesting the deletion or correction or completion of your data at any time, provided that there are no legal obligations to retain data or a legal reason for permission to the contrary.

Please note that the exercise of your rights may, under certain circumstances, conflict with contractual agreements and have corresponding effects on the performance of the contract (e.g. premature termination of the contract or cost consequences).

​

Restriction of editing

You also have the right to request restriction of processing if you dispute the accuracy of this data, the processing is unlawful, the data is no longer needed or you have objected to the processing.

If the processing of the data is restricted, it may only be stored. Further processing may only be carried out with your consent, for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, to protect the rights of another person or for reasons of important public interest. You will be notified in the event that the restriction is lifted.

​

Right to data output and transfer

You have the right to receive your data in a commonly used file format or (if technically feasible) to have it transferred to a third party if I process your data automatically and if:

• you have given your consent for the processing of that data; or

• you have disclosed data in connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract.

 

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing, including profiling, which is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests. This right also applies to processing for the purpose of direct advertising.

​

Legal action

If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the "Eidgenössischen Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragten (EDÖB).

​​​

​

9. Data processing in general

​​​What data do I process from you and from whom do I receive this data?

First and foremost, I process personal data that you submit to me or that I collect when you are interacting with our website. I may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This may be in the following categories:

• Personal master data (name, address, dates of birth, etc.);

• Contact details (mobile phone number, e-mail address, etc.);

• Financial data (e.g. account details);

• Online identifiers (e.g. cookie identifier, IP addresses);

These data can come from the following sources:

• Information from publicly accessible sources (e.g. media, internet);

• Information from public registers (e.g. commercial register, debt collection register, land register);

• Information in connection with official or judicial proceedings;

• Information regarding your professional functions and activities (e.g. professional networks);

• Information about you in correspondence and meetings with third parties;

• Creditworthiness information (insofar as we conduct personal business with you);

• Information about you given to me by people close to you so that we can enter into or process contracts with you;

• Data related to the use of the website.

 

Under what conditions do I process your data?

I process your data in good faith and for the purposes set out in this privacy policy. In doing so, I ensure transparent and proportionate processing.

If, exceptionally, I are unable to comply with these principles, the data processing may still be lawful because there is a justification. A justification ground may be in particular:

• Your consent;

• the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;

• the fulfilment of legal requirements;

• our legitimate interests, unless your interests are overridden.

You may be required to provide me with certain personal information in order for us to do business with each other. Without such information, I will not normally be able to process a contract. The website also cannot normally be used if certain traffic security information, such as your IP address, is not disclosed.

 

How can you revoke consent you have given?

If you have given me your consent to process your personal data for certain purposes, I will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless weI have another justification or no other permissible circumstance is fulfilled.

You can revoke your consent for the future at any time by sending an e-mail to the address given in the legal notice. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected by the revocation and retains its validity.

​

In which cases do I pass on your data to third parties?

a. Principle

I may need to use the services of third parties or affiliates and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients are namely:

• Accounting, fiduciary and auditing firm;

• Consulting firms (legal advice, taxes, etc.);

• IT service provider (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);

• Payment service providers (only with your prior consent);

• Provider of tracking, conversion and advertising services.

I ensure that data is only passed on with your express consent, provided that this does not involve commissioned data processing. I also ensure that these third parties and our affiliates comply with data protection requirements and keep your personal data confidential. I may also be obliged to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Sharing with partners and cooperating companies

I sometimes work together with various companies and partners who place their offers on my website. It is recognisable for you that it is a third-party offer (marked as "advertising").

If you make use of such an offer, I will transmit your personal data to the corresponding partner or cooperation company (e.g. name, function, communication, etc.) whose offer you wish to take advantage of, provided that you have expressly consented to this beforehand. These partners and cooperation companies are independently responsible for the personal data received. After the transmission of the data, the data protection regulations of the respective partner apply.

c. Transfer abroad

Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad within the scope of commissioned processing. These companies are obligated to data protection to the same extent as we are. The transfer may take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not correspond to that in Switzerland, we carry out a prior risk assessment and ensure contractually that the same level of protection is guaranteed as in Switzerland (e.g. by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we take additional technical measures to protect your data. 

​

How long do we keep your data?

I only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the individual purposes for which the data was collected.

I store contract data for longer because I'm obliged to do so by law. In particular, I must retain business communications, concluded contracts and accounting records for up to 10 years. Insofar as I no longer need such data from you to perform the services, the data will be restricted for further processing and I will only use it for accounting and tax purposes
